The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Daiyu never suffered a loss, and Jia Min quickly dismissed the matter. Seeing Fan Shi's aggrieved face, Mrs. Fan maintained her dignity in front of everyone, but she had to ask Fan Shi why in private.

The maid beside Fan Shi didn't dare to hide anything, and learned a lot about the flower hall.These are also the basic qualities of a big girl who can be taken out. She must have the ability to adapt, and the memory must not be bad. When something happens, the master can restore the process when asked.

After hearing this, Mrs. Fan gritted her teeth angrily, and said, "Why is this girl from the Lin family so sharp-tongued as a master and a servant?" After a pause, she complained to Fan Shi again, "That's fine, what are you doing to provoke her?"

Fan Shi whispered: "It's not just to vent my anger on Uncle."

One sentence frightened Mrs. Fan so much that her complexion changed, she hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense." Looking around, Mrs. Fan whispered again: "You, you can't keep calm like this."

Fan Shi also knew that this kind of thing was no small matter, so he changed the subject and said: "That girl of the Lin family is really annoying. Today, so many ladies saw her master and servant being sharp-tongued and mean to me. Where do I put my face? Mother, you have to find a way how to vent your anger on me. "

Mrs. Fan was born in a side branch of the Cheng'en Duke's Mansion. One mother and two sisters were from the same country. One married to a Zanying family, and she is now the Princess of Nan'an; , is today's Mrs. Fan.

Coming from such a family, Mrs. Fan's literacy is several times higher than that of Fan Shi's. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "You don't have to compete with that girl Lin, and you don't have to tell people that you have lost your demeanor. I have a solution for this."

After hearing this, Fan Shi felt happy again.

When Daiyu had had enough fun, Jia Min also briefly told Daiyu about Mrs. Fan's background.Both of them came from the Duke's family, and they were also ladies from famous families in the capital, so they were acquaintances.Moreover, the two married similarly, both young Scholars, even if they were not comparable, there was also a comparison between the two aunts who were sent out by the old friends in the capital.

So Jia Min briefly told Daiyu about Mrs. Fan's background, and said: "Master Fan is also a local official, and Mrs. Fan is even more noble, so Miss Fan is a little arrogant. Naturally, our family does not need to be afraid of her, but When you go out in the future, it is better to bring a few more people with you, so as not to be kicked in the face. Although you did not suffer today, there is no guarantee that you will not encounter more unruly people in the future."

As for the Zhong family in Duke Cheng'en's mansion, Jia Min had already told Daiyu in detail when he was at home.Empress Yuandi came from the Zhong family, who is the birth mother of the current crown prince.Later, Empress Zhong was in poor health. In order to stabilize the empress' status, Duke Cheng'en sent another daughter of the Zhong family into the palace.

There is a queen and a concubine from the Zhong family lineage, and a side branch has a princess with a different surname, which is obviously prominent.

Daiyu only heard that Mrs. Fan's sister-in-law was Princess Nan'an, and she felt that Fan Shi's temper had a source.Isn't the current Princess Nan'an the one who will force Tanchun to be her goddaughter in the future, and send her to be married in exchange for her son and return to court?It's not that Concubine Nan'an has no daughters, it's just that she can't bear to part with her own daughter, so she doesn't care about the separation of other people's flesh and blood.Daiyu looked down upon such a character.

But the daughters of Duke Cheng'en's mansion are indeed married very well, presumably because the Zhong family gave birth to a queen.This is the power of the ancient clan. No matter male or female, once a promising one is born, the status and reputation of the other children of the family will also rise.

As for what her mother said about bringing more people with her in the future, Daiyu also understands that sometimes ladies from wealthy families bring more people around, not just because of ostentation, but also because of safety considerations.In today's matter, it means that the elders came quickly, otherwise, if I don't lose the wind in the quarrel, if the other party unreasonably instructs the subordinates to bully more and push less, I will definitely suffer.But Jiao Daiyu said that instead of bringing more people, it is better to pick up the military skills learned in later generations, that is not afraid of physical conflicts.

Naturally, Daiyu didn't dare to tell Jia Min what was in her heart, so she just responded with a smile.

After lunch, each family ordered to talk to the governor's wife for a while, and they all got up to leave.

Because Daiyu supported the women of the Lin clan today, several female family members of the Lin family bid farewell with Jia Min.A group of people were about to go out when they saw a lady in charge dressed in silk coming up, saluted, holding a mahogany box in both hands and said: "Is this Miss Lin? Our wife gave the girl something to enjoy. Please don't be polite, girl."

The woman's tone was very respectful, if it was an ordinary little girl, she would pick it up even if she stretched out her hand and didn't hit the smiling face.But is Daiyu an ordinary girl, definitely not.I saw that Daiyu neither accepted the gift nor thanked her, but asked indifferently: "I don't know who is this mother's wife, why did you give me something?"

When Daiyu asked, the woman was reluctant to answer. At this time, Mrs. Fan, mother and daughter came with a mighty servant. Mrs. Fan said with a smile: "I gave this thing to Miss Lin."

In fact, if Mrs. Fan did not come out, Daiyu also vaguely guessed that there were only two people who gave things: one was Mrs. Fan. People, if they are sensible people, they should apologize to themselves; the second is Mrs. Yao, the wife of the governor. Although Mrs. Yao has nothing to do with today's incident, Mrs. Yao is the mistress here. For a girl from a small family, the mistress does not exceed the etiquette to appease one or two.

Seeing that Mrs. Fan came out to claim it by herself, Daiyu's expression remained calm, "I wonder if Mrs. Yao gave this gift to me alone, or if all my sisters have it? And why did you give it to me?"

Just two simple questions, which made Mrs. Fan choke. This damn girl is too difficult to deal with at such a young age, even more difficult than Jia Min back then.Just talking about the previous question, several girls from the Lin family left together, and you only gave a gift to the one with the highest status, what do you mean?Deliberately embarrassing the other girls or something?And the second question, why?It's not that my niece scolded you and said that I can give you something to calm down.It's as if I punished the wrong servant at home and rewarded one or two pieces of material.

But this can't be said, a royal wife, using this method of dismissing servants, wants to expose her family's rudeness first, and count a little girl who is less than seven years old. If it succeeds, it will be nothing.But it also made the seven-year-old girl see that she had intentions, so she couldn't hold back her face.

Mrs. Fan is much better than Fan Shike. She took the box over, pulled Daiyu kindly, and said, "You can take it if I give it to you. It's just a small thing. Take it home and play with it."

Looking at that smiling face, I didn't know, I thought the two of them were very close.It's just the first time we meet.

Who is Daiyu?When she was a real little girl in her previous life, she wouldn't be belittled by Zhou Rui's family, seemingly unintentionally but intentionally, in her dealings with others. She has lived her whole life again. Mrs. Fan's kind appearance can be fooled by ordinary little girls, but Daiyu is really not an ordinary little girl.

Daiyu withdrew her hand and said, "I have already received Mrs. Fan's gift today, so please forgive me for not accepting it a second time. If Mrs. Fan wants to make amends for Miss Fan's abruptness today, I will invite you to the Lin family's mansion another day. My house must sweep the couch and prepare wine." After speaking, Daiyu returned to Jia Min's side.

Mrs. Fan's cultivation base was ten times better than Fan Shi's, so she slapped her in the face just like that, and she still kept a smile on her face, saying: "You child, don't you dare to accept a little thing."

Jia Min smiled slightly, then took over the conversation and said: "Yu'er is the same, why should a child bicker at home to apologize? Don't say such things in the future." Then he smiled at Mrs. Fan: "If it is a child, Mrs. Fan should not go to the house. Go with your heart."

Daiyu had already slapped Fan's mother and daughter in the face, so Jia Min naturally wanted to support her daughter.Don't look at Jia Min's beautiful and soft words, but he directly confirmed the Fan family's rudeness again.I don't want you to apologize, it's our Lin family who are generous, not your family.Who doesn't know who? When she was a girl in the capital, Jia Min had contact with many rich and noble girls, princesses and princesses. At that time, she could be polite and not suffer. Now Mrs. Fan is counting on her daughter. How could Jia Min not stab back.

Mrs. Fan was presenting things in public today, thinking that as long as Daiyu accepted it, her family would have the upper hand in terms of tolerance. Who would have thought that such a big girl wouldn't let her in?

Not only did Miss Lin refuse to accept gifts from unknown sources, but she directly broke her own careful thinking: If you want to make an apology, please come to the door formally.What is it to give something so unclear?When I took your things, it was equivalent to accepting your apology, but when you gave the things, you didn't mention a word about your daughter. Isn't your idea too good?

Mrs. Fan felt that she didn't read the almanac when she went out today. Not only did she plot against a little girl, she turned her head and let Jia Min slap her on the face, which really hurt.

But to be honest, Fan Shi had already quarreled with Daiyu. After Daiyu revealed Mrs. Fan's intentions, if Mrs. Fan insisted on haggling, she would be bullying the younger, even if she won, it would be meaningless.And Mrs. Fan thought to herself that she may not have won this girl.Although Jia Min gave him a slap, it was considered a step, and Mrs. Fan followed suit.

When children quarrel, the elder who comes first will be left behind, and today I really shouldn't end up.In fact, Mrs. Fan knew that she was impulsive today when Daiyu refused to accept the gift for the first time. Fortunately, she was able to bend and stretch, and knew when enough was enough.This matter is over like this, even if the people who saw it knew that the Fan family was inferior, they should not show contempt. After all, Mrs. Fan herself came from the Zhong family, and Fan Guangxi was also very powerful.

Therefore, although Mrs. Fan was angry in her heart, she was able to maintain a decent appearance and leave.

Daiyu's mother and daughter went to the gate of the inner courtyard, said goodbye to the female relatives of the family, and joined Lin Ruhai and his son before taking the servants to their homes.

Because Daiyu's siblings were still young, the family of four sat in a car. Daiyu saw that her father and mother did not speak as if they had a tacit understanding, so she knew that someone in the front yard had also tried to test her father, and some words were not convenient for the car. speak.

All the way, she only occasionally talked about the banquet, until she returned to the Lin Mansion, the family of four went home to change their clothes, and Daiyu ordered the kitchen to order the dishes for today's dinner, and then sent the servants to talk about today's banquet.

In the front yard, Governor Yao spoke a few words of his own to Lin Ruhai. It was nothing more than the difficulties in the officialdom, and everyone had their own difficulties. Su Hanshan.What it means is self-explanatory.

Jia Min also talked about the dispute in the warm pavilion, and about Mrs. Fan planning to give Daiyu a gift. Jia Min laughed and said, "I don't know why Mrs. Zhong has become more and more arrogant. She wants to give something away for no reason. Yu'er, even if Yu'er didn't see through her small thoughts, I would stop her. But our Yu'er rejected her on the spot, and fortunately she knows how to advance and retreat, so it won't be too ugly."

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "That's fine, why does Miss Fan want to find Yu'er so unhappy? In addition to what Governor Yao said to test me today, I'm afraid there will be news from the capital."

Jia Min was taken aback, but also reacted immediately.Fan Shi and Daiyu met for the first time, if Fan Shi hadn't heard about the festival between the Fan family and the Lin family at home, they would not have been so abrupt.

On the other hand, Daiyu seemed to have thought of it a long time ago, she didn't even move a single eyebrow.

Daiyu had indeed thought of some things long ago, even some things that even Lin Ruhai didn't dare to think about.In the previous life, about six years later, Emperor Taizong abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, and a new emperor ascended the throne.The new emperor is neither the current prince nor the second prince, but the ninth prince.

Therefore, three of the four kings with different surnames in the previous life were deprived of real power, and only the king of Nan'an led the army along the West Sea.Although she was defeated in the battle and got married later, Concubine Nan'an was able to go to the Rongguo Mansion to force Tanchun to be her righteous daughter. It can be seen that King Nan'an did not lose power at that time.

The Concubine Nan'an at that time was the Princess Nan'an of today, and the birth mother of the Nine Princes, Concubine Zhong, would be the Concubine by then. If she could go further, she could even be called the Empress Dowager.For the new emperor to ascend the throne, he was afraid that he would get great help from his mother's clan, so the king of Nan'an County retained his military power because the concubine came from the Zhong family.Even if the battle is defeated, the new emperor agrees to make peace instead of punishing Nan'an Palace.

"Father, if you have a chance, try to remind His Royal Highness to beware of this." Daiyu said, making a 'nine' with her hands.

These words startled both Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.The nine princes and the crown prince's natal family belonged to the Zhong family of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, and the reason why the little concubine Zhong entered the palace was to consolidate the status of Queen Zhong, who was fading and loving.The struggle between concubines and concubines in the harem has always been cruel. The crown prince and the nine princes will help each other even if there are many risks, how can they kill each other.

"Why does Yu'er think so?"

Because knowing that the Ninth Prince Fisherman benefited in the previous life, is this reason enough?

Of course, Daiyu knew that Lin Ruhai could not be persuaded in this way, so she organized her words and said: "The emperor went hunting last year, and he should have returned to Beijing before the end of the year. If everything goes well, it's fine. If there is any friction during the hunting, the news will come soon." It spread to the south of the Yangtze River. Mrs. Fan and Concubine Zhong are sisters of the same clan. Miss Fan was hostile when she first saw me. Is there any connection here?

As for the children of rich and noble families, the family should teach their children to be familiar with the relationship between the capital and local honorable families and aristocratic families.Mrs. Fan is from a famous family, and Cheng'en Gong's family is even more prominent; but our family is not a family without a name. Miss Fan is 11 years old this year, and she will be married in a year or two, but she has never seen me. , her family should have taught her to famous families in Beijing and Suzhou.If it wasn't for any news that is not good for Duke Cheng'en's mansion in the capital, Ms. Zhong would have no reason to take my anger out on me.

Cheng En Gong's mansion is the natal family of His Royal Highness, and the Lin family is the natal family of the Crown Princess. If the interests of His Royal Highness are damaged, the Zhong family should share the same hatred with our family.Therefore, if something happened during the hunt, it must have harmed the interests of His Highness the Crown Prince but the interests of Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, then there was a disagreement between the interests of this and His Highness the Crown Prince. "When Daiyu talked about the Ninth Prince, she still compared a number in her hand.

After a short pause, Daiyu continued: "However, Fan Shi's provocation is good news. If the Eastern Palace fails, she really has no reason to provoke me."

These words are scary. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including Lin Ruhai, all felt that at least for now, the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince were an alliance of interests. Even in the eyes of Emperor Taizong, they would think so.So what if the Ninth Prince is the poisonous snake behind the crown prince?Lin Ruhai didn't dare to think about it anymore, but what Daiyu said was well-founded.

This made Lin Ruhai think that shortly after the beginning of summer last year, Daiyu had said more than once that something would happen to Iron Net Mountain.So the Zhong family's attitude today confirmed Daiyu's words.This daughter is indeed too outstanding.Lin Ruhai was a young student in Fang Ruoguan High School, so he was naturally a person with excellent aptitude, but Lin Ruhai felt that compared with his daughter, he was barely a fool.

Lin Ruhai said: "I will remind elder sister that the nine princes are not only the brothers of His Highness the Crown Prince, but they have been close friends and have supported each other for many years. Even the little Concubine Zhong has always been very kind to the Crown Prince. If you defend too much, Eldest Sister may not be able to persuade His Highness the Crown Prince."

Daiyu didn't express her opinion directly, but she felt that the prince would listen to the persuasion, and even the East Palace had already noticed it, otherwise in the previous life, the prince would have been imprisoned at this time, but in this life, the prince would at least hunt for a contest in Iron Net Mountain won out.To avoid disasters and gain some gains, Donggong is not ignorant of the people who really plotted against him.

"Here and then, father just try. I guess Donggong can listen to advice. In fact, the dust has already settled on the other side of the capital, but the news spread slowly. Our family returned to Suzhou and didn't pay attention to the news of the capital. It's just that I don't know a lot of things. But the outcome has been decided, and although there will be entanglements later, it will be difficult to affect the overall situation; after Sister Su Lan enters Beijing, the situation should become clearer." Daiyu said.

Speaking of Su Lan, Lin Ruhai's expression darkened.The bigger the private salt business is, the more impossible it is to clean it up. Whether it is from the accounts or other places, Lin Ruhai has already collected a lot of ironclad evidence.It's just that Zhen Yingjia is very cunning, those private salt businesses apparently have other bosses, and from the evidence, he himself is not deeply involved.

The fact that Su Hanshan was murdered at the beginning should be the evidence that Zhen Yingjia was involved in the private salt business.However, the Su family suffered drastic changes, and Su Lan was quite wary of people. Whether it was Liu Zheng or Lin Ruhai, they claimed that they had no evidence, but they also said they were willing to go to Beijing.I don't know how much evidence is in Su Lan's hands, whether it can completely bring down the Zhen family.

Moreover, from Cai Daiyu's well-founded analysis just now, the second prince is actually not the only powerful enemy in the Eastern Palace, and the ninth prince is more hidden than the second prince.Lin Ruhai knew that the more calm an enemy is, the more difficult it is to deal with.
